Hello! My name is Athet Pyan Shinthaw Paulu. I am from the country of Myanmar. I would like to share with you my testimony of what happened to me, but first I would like to give some brief background information
from my life growing up.
I was born in 1958 in the town of Bogale, on the Irrawaddy Delta area of southern Myanmar [formerly Burma]. My parents, who were devout Buddhists like most people in Myanmar, named me Thitpin [which means 'tree' in English]. Our lives were very simple where I grew up. At the age of 13 I left school and started working on a fishing boat. We caught fish and sometimes also shrimp from the numerous rivers and streams in the Irrawaddy area. At the age of 16 I became the leader of the boat. At this time I lived in Upper Mainmahlagyon Island [Mainmahlagyon means 'Beautiful Woman Island' in English], just north of Bogale where I was born. This place is about 100 miles southwest of Yangon [Rangoon], our
nation's capitol city.
One day, when I was 17, we caught a large number of fish in our nets. Because of the many fish, a large crocodile was attracted to us. It followed our boat and tried to attack us. We were terrified so we frantically rowed our boats toward the riverbank as fast as we could. The crocodile followed us and smashed our boat with its tail. Although no one died in this incident, the attack greatly affected my life. I no longer wanted to fish. Our small boat sank because of the crocodile attack. We
had to go home to our village that night on a passenger boat.
Not long after, his employers transferred my father to Yangon City [formerly spelt Rangoon]. At the age of 18 I was sent to a Buddhist monastery to be a novice monk. Most parents in Myanmar try to send their son into a Buddhist monastery, at least for a time, as it is considered a great honor to have a son serve in this way. We have been observing
this custom for many hundreds of years.
A Zealous Disciple of Buddha
When I turned 19 years and 3 months old (in 1977), I became a normal monk. The senior monk at my monastery gave me a new Buddhist name, which is the custom in our country. I was now called U Nata Pannita Ashinthuriya. When we become a monk we no longer use the name given to us at birth by our parents. The name of the monastery I lived at is called Mandalay Kyaikasan Kyaing. The senior monk's name was called U Zadila Kyar Ni Kan Sayadaw [U Zadila is his title]. He was the most famous Buddhist monk in all of Myanmar at the time. Everyone knew who he was. He was widely honored by the people and respected as a great teacher. I say he "was" because in 1983 he suddenly died when he was involved in a fatal car accident. His death shocked everyone. At the time I
had been a monk for six years.
I tried hard to be the best monk I could and to follow all the precepts of Buddhism. At one stage I moved to a cemetery where I lived and meditated continually. Some monks who really want to know the truths of Buddha do things like I did. Some move deep into the forests where they live a life of self-denial and poverty. I sought to deny my selfish thoughts and desires, to escape from sickness and suffering and to break free from the cycle of this world. At the cemetery I was not afraid of ghosts. I tried to attain such inner peace and self-realization that even when a mosquito
landed on my arm I would let it bite me instead of brushing it off!
For years I strived to be the best monk I could and not to harm any living being. I studied the holy Buddhist teachings just like all my forefathers had done before me. My life proceeded as a monk until I got very, very sick. I was in Mandalay at the time and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. The doctors did some tests on me and told me I had both Yellow Fever and malaria at the same time! After about one month in the hospital I was getting worse. The doctors told me there was no chance for
me to recover and discharged me to make a rrangements to die.
This is a brief description of my past. I would now like to tell you some of the remarkable things that happened to me after this time...

  • This doesn't make sense, Buddha became before Jesus; I believe in Jesus but Buddha never claimed to be God, but he never lived anywhere near the time of Jesus. It isn't fair he didn't know the truth.

  • @Marino12Jones He rejected the eternal God of Israel and lived after his own philosophies instead such a path doesnt end in the kingdom of God

  • @1onetheone Thank you, I sent you a mail on fb. =)

  • @MrDoable see my channel for links

  • @1onetheone do you use facebook? better if we talk personally.. lol

  • @1onetheone I also have a prayer on my channel main page a few vids down, you can pray there also

  • @MrDoable what you do is you go to your room and go on your knees and you SPEAK to Jesus and ask him to change you and forgive you sins and you confess your sins to him SPEAKING to him. If you do this you are also repenting cause it is clear you already know you have wrong things in your past, so ask Jesus to forgive them and CHOOSE today to turn away from all that is wrong in your life and he will give you the power to stop it all IF YOU ARE WILLING to cooperate with him

  • @1onetheone Please tell me "how to repent" and how to pray to jesus?

  • @MrDoable then you need JESUS and he will give you the power to stop sinning and having evil speech. He will give you power to stop sinning IF you are willing, but you need to REPENT and come to him in prayer...Go pray and ask him to save you and forgive you for your own sins will also end you in hell so you need forgiveness for your sins from JESUS who alone can forgive your sins

  • seeing buddha burning in hell? this doesn't make any fuckin sense. This just makes me angry, frustrated and confused. What the fuck?
